Answer:
The smallest possible value of n is 259
Step-by-step explanation:
When n = 259
100n = 100×259 = 25900
25900 ÷ 1036 = 25
Therefore, 1036 is a factor of 100n when n is 259
Answer: Therefore, the lowest value of n is 259.
n = 7×37 = 259
n = 259
Step-by-step explanation:
To get the value of n. We need to break them down to their lowest factors.
Note: they must have common factors, that is all the factors of 1036 must be found in 100n.
For;
100n = 2×2×5×5×n
1036 = 2×2×7×37
the factors of 1036 that cannot be found in 100 is the least value of n.
So, 7 and 37 is not a factor of 100
Therefore, the lowest value of n is;
n = 7×37 = 259
